Activities at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Out & About with Oomph!
Residents at Hugh Myddelton enjoyed a long-awaited minibus trip to Trent Country Park. Here they were delighted taking a walk through the park's lovely fields and woods, relaxing in the nature and enjoy the lovely views.
Trent Country Park lies in 413 acres of rolling meadows, enchanting brooks, exquisite lakes, ancient woodland and imposing historical sites. It forms part of London Green Belt and being a country part it provides a natural, rural and tranquil atmosphere right on the outskirts of London on the borders of Enfield.
Last Night of the Proms
Staff and residents at Hugh Myddelton were treated to a unique performance from the English National Ballet’s Philharmonic Orchestra to celebrate the Last Night of the Proms.
Residents joined members of English National Ballet’s Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Music Director, Gavin Sutherland, to celebrate Last Night of the Proms. They listened and danced along as members of the orchestra took them on a magical, musical journey. English National Ballet Philharmonic is made up of many of the country’s top musicians, and boasts considerable experience in all forms of music-making.
With insights and anecdotes into what it takes to conduct an orchestra for a world-class ballet company, this special concert for Barchester care homes got everyone’s feet tapping, arms waving and hearts singing!
